Letter to the Editor: Flaisher the Choice to Lead Divisive Board

This letter was received by West Bloomfield Patch local editor Tim Rath.

“Fill in Flaisher”, the independent candidate for West Bloomfield Township Supervisor by absentee ballot or in person on November 6, 2012. David was our Township’s Supervisor from 2000–08. He is running again because the township is not being governed in the most effective and respectful way possible. He has had four years of self reflection and personal growth so he comes back to us as a more mature and humble leader.

“Fill in Flaisher” because the current board cannot and will not put their differences behind them, no matter what they tell us during the campaign. Too much personal pain and vastly different governing styles and depth of knowledge divide them. Supervisor Ureste’s poor judgment has helped cultivate this environment; hence the blame games, lawsuits, and trustee running against trustee.

“Fill in Flaisher” because David has learned from the past and has a strong, proven track record of fiscal competence. I believe David can effectively and collaboratively govern and move this township forward again. Please join me this November and “Fill in Flaisher” for Supervisor.
